Scrap-A-Palooza - A finish

This quilt started with some incorrectly cut strips of blue solid. They were sitting on the corner of my cutting mat and I thought they could be used to make a fun scrap quilt. In no time at all I was strip sewing some fabrics together.

I decided to alternate the color fade and really like how it turned out.

It was a wonderful scrap burner. A little bit of everything went into the mix. As you can see, some of the blue solids are not the same color either. I used my miscuts and added in some other blues from my scrap bin.

I found a blue print for the backing in my stash and quilted it with some simple irregularly spaced horizontal lines.

As I was sewing up this quilt, I thought of some other layouts for these same pieces. So of course I had to start another quilt. I hope to share that finish hopefully next week!

I love it! I did something similar with a large gallon bag of low volume scraps I had. I was determined to use every scrap in the bag. It only made a baby sized quilt but I love it so much, so far I ended up keeping it! I like yours with the insertions of dark blue.
